Upon completion of Professor Mattias Desmet's book: The Psychology of Totalitarianism, (his thesis covering psychological mass formation in people), I've probably been gifted with the premises for another dozen podcasts!
The book is so well done and speaks acutely to exactly what we've experienced at all levels of society over the pandemic. It's a must read...
This will be the first in the body of podcasts stemming from this reading that will expand on the ideas Mattias details. Particularly how mass formation in humans seems to me to mirror a similar transformation in nature that causes plagues of locusts!
